false 14326 6 So many hyperbolic statements have been made about this novel--from Don DeLillo calling it a "slasher classic," to <i>The Village Voice</i> calling it a "mescaline Slurpee," to <i>The New Yorker</i> comparing it to Orson Welles's "deliciously sleazy" Touch of Evil--that it can be hard to sort out the truth from the hype. The bottom line is that this is a postmodern road novel about mass media, with multiple allusions to horror movies. As the rave review in the premiere horror critique rag, <i>Necrofile</i>, puts it, <i>Going Native</i> is about the "round-the-clock bombardment of inanity and violence that has so thoroughly invaded mundane existence as to render it cartoon-like." If you care about how horror imagery affects modern culture, and you want to have a great time thinking about it, then read this book. 2278432 1994 Going Native total:122|5:29|4:37|3:35|2:16|1:5| 122 435 200 19 14326 140007942X 9781400079421 98 16 3.57 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1166590241m/14326.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/14326.Going_Native 2 0 false Wed Aug 26 12:54:32 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 26 13:09:07 -0700 2009
